[Sammy Jones]

I first heard it by Bert Williams on a Radiola LP that contained stars of 
the Ziegfeld Follies.

I was about to write that Eddie "Rochester" Anderson also performed it on 
Jack Benny's radio show, but I checked first.  He actually sang "Somebody 
Else, Not Me" on the 1942 version of the Doc Benny Minstrel Show sketch. 
That's another Bert Williams song.  Phil Harris DID sing "Nobody" on the 
show from May 23, 1937.
